Beginning Day 1

BIG SIGH.......Today I start my journey to be smoke free. I have my tools in place which include my straws, gum and be sure to drink plenty of water. Most

importantly is the HELP AND SUPPORT FROM ALL OF YOU !!!!!

I will enjoy this wonderful day but will not be around those that do smoke. I am on my way to bed now and look forward to the best decision that I could have possibly made. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE

Day one update

Well....it's different thats for sure. Just feel out of sync and I'm already jittery but I realize these are all withdrawal symptoms. Not looking forward to the sleep problems but its better than lighting up. I am keeping myself busy so I hope that after my family and this great day comes to an end, I hope to be pretty tired. That Nico-Demon is just holding back but I am ready to KICK ASH

Day 2

Feel much better today knowing that I CAN survive without puffing. The battle will get worse but I know I have all of your support and I thank you all. The Nico Demon hasn't even BEGUN his tricks but I'm ready for him today. I will try to keep thinking one day at time and NOPE. Thanks to all !!

Day 2

update on day 2......Today I was a complete bear. I was snapping and over-reacting to everthing and everybody so much so that I couldn't stand being around myself....and that's pretty tuff.

I almost gave in but I DIDN'T. I know that is part of it. I have ask for forgiveness and tried to keep myself busy, read, went outside for a quick walk, and drank more water. They don't call this hell week for nothing. I was the one that didn't stay with this program and I knew I would regret it. But I did BUT NOW I'M BACK. As you can see I am also rambling and can't seem to concentrate but this too shall pass. Taking deep breaths and doing some breathing exercises. Hopefully, tomorrow will be a better day. Good night and thanks for letting me vent.

6 days update

Woww ......what a very long, hard week this has been.....BUT STILL SMOKE FREE. Have I almost given up? You betcha I have but I keep saying N O P E. Many thanks for all who have been so helpful and supportive. That darn Nico Demon is brutal. I talk to myself allot, even let loose a scream now and then but I refuse to light up. I just wish I could stop thinking about this 24/7. I know it will lessen in time but it's a big pain right now..lol I have been a bear to live with and done nothing but say I'm sorry and please hang in there. My support at home and with family is great. I have to continue to work at this and keep fighting. Hope you all have a wonderful safe and Happy New Year

Lack of confidence

Hang in there. I am on day 8 and believe me I have my ups and down. I also have multiple health issues that smoking only makes worse. I have been battling my smoking addiction since my heart attack in 1997. Even after 5 years smoke free I started up again. The NOPE is so very true. This time is the charm!! My breathing is already better and I can feel my lungs opening up alittle. Just keep focusing on feeling better......and you will. Each day will get better. You can do it!!!!

DAY 4 !!

Congrats to day 3!!!!!! Hang in there The ride goes up and down for a bit. I am on day 14 and I still feel like I want to just smash something or someone. lol Be sure to drink plenty of water and stay busy. When you go to your parrty try to stay with the non smokers or at least try to walk away from those who are smoking. It is hard when you see others smoking and your head and that NICO DEMON will keep whispering in your ear but you keep telling yourself that you are a NON smoker now and KICK his ASH. Good luck

19 days and feeling better

I feel soooooo much better since I've stopped smoking. I am now one of those who hates the smell of smoke. It is such a good feeling not to worry about how much I stink with that smell and people giving me nasty looks. My breathing is deeper, I am not wheezing, not coughing throughout the night or while on the phone telling people I just have a tickle in my throat. Many of my friends and some family members did not know I had resumed smoking after 3 yrs free and would have been very angry and disappointed. I don't have to hide from them or sneak smoking anymore. It is so freeing. I just want to take one day at a time and continue feeling better. My cravings come at such weird times., I can not even be thinking or feeling withdrawal but walk into a room with no one in it and see a pack of cigs and instantly want to to just grab one and go hide somewhere to smoke it. The Nico demon pops up then and says "go ahead no one will see me". I find that so strange but have learned to laugh at that demon and tell him NO WAY...NOT THIS TIME. I try to stay amongst my no smoking relatives and friends and tell myself that I am also a non-smoker. When I get stressed out I think about their issues and how they get just as anxious, angry, upset, happy, whatever but don't smoke through it. I find straws and gum help and drinking water as much as I can. I also talk to myself allot sometimes even out loud. Coming here and sharing my thoughts and feelings is an incredible lift of mind and spirit. Thanks to all
